JUST BEFORE THE BARS CLANGED
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
NOT A MYTH
Recently the citizens ol this sov-
ereign republic were treated to the
spectacle of a priest, who has built
up a considerable reputation as a
radical leader, denouncing the ex-
ecutive head of the government as
a "liar” and "double-crosser.” Amer-
icans, officially and as private citi-
zens, treated the priest’s outburst as
more of an example of extremely
bad taste than as a treasonable ut-
terance.
But consider a moment. Transfer
this incident to Germany. Italy or
Russia, Try to imagine a German
giving utterance to a similar charge
against Hitler, an Italian speaking
in the same terms of Mussolini, or
a Russian of Stalin. Whatever some
Citizens of those countries may think
privately of their leaders, to air ad-
verse views publicly means a swift
transfer to prison, or even the
headsman’s ax or the hangman’s
noose.
Concrete instances that such con-
ditions exist are not lacking. An
aged German was recently sentenc-
ed to 15 months in prison for writ-
ing to a friend in Switzerland, crit-
icising certain Nazi party leaders.
A professor got two months in pri-
son and a big fine for "criticising
the form of the state in a non-fac-
tual manner.”
Americans who yearn for the ben-
efits of Communism, Nazi-ism or
Fascism, should be forced to spend
a lew months in the countries which
enjoy those alleged blessings. They
would appreciate the fact that,
whatever the shortcomings of our
own government, Americans still en-
joy more freedom and more benefits
than citizens of European countries
under their dictators.

“Dancing Pirate,”
color picture, opens at
Saturday night preview and runs
through Monday’s program. This
show is a gala entertainment all in
color and one of the season’s best
musical comedy romances.
Color adds enenantment to ro-
mance that rings with songs! Thrill
to this gay and glorious romance, a
singing swinging tale of daring
screen, while Steffi Duna has the
lead feminine role, that of a Span-
ish beauty in Old California.
The story deals with a Bostonian
dancing master who is shanghaied
by seamen, captured by pirates and
a new techni- landed off the shores of old Span-
the Texas fsh California. He escapes to warn a
nearby village but is himself mis-
taken for a buccaneer.
Following an exciting comedy bat-
tle in which the somnolent villagers
are led to battle by their mayor,
YOU
WHO!
Imagine this, and its true, yes-
terday evening L. E. Davis was
sweeping the street out in front of
his drug store! . . . versatile fellow

ROME — Ruins just uncovered at
Ostia, port of ancient Rome, have
moved back two centuries the date

These mosaics, together with
paintings and statuary, reveal sev-

the period, namely that first century
Romans were diverted by gazelles
brought from the Nile valley and
that Romans of that period hunted
